Thanks the tiger is my latest and I love it!!! My wife has an appointment Sunday(same artist) ill post some pictures Didn't mean to be standing on my head, just expected(from previous forum exp) that with 160 views I might catch a 'hello' or 'hey your tattoos suck' lol the 'read here first' suggesting getting your initial posts here..

Two days, 160 views.. One welcome.. Inviting

The word tat-too originates from the sound of traditional application methods and tat has been being used long before any if us thought tattoos were 'cool' or interesting. If 'getting tatted', 'getting inked' or 'getting sleeved' makes you cringe.. Please share what you call it, why its more acceptable and do you raise your pinky when you smoke your meth because your classy?.. :rolleyes: Point is ppl call things by different names in states, towns, countries and continents.. Just because you've met some artists, visited a few shops, have a few nice tattoos, read a few books does not not make any of US the leading expert or authority on tattoos or their history and it certainly does not give any of US the right to be condensing or judgmental towards how others enjoy tattoos or tattooing.. If you do, your no different then the ignorant ppl who judge US based on having tattoos in the first place.. Get it? None of us here are the greats or innovators of the art we love, even if we were judging others with like minded interests based on their use of slang is stupid as fuck... No if you use the word 'swag' you deserve to be throat punched.

Before choosing my artist, I watched a friend of mines sleeves progress over a couple of years. Good luck on your search! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Welcome! Very cool ink!

32? The World Wildlife Foundation estimate is as few as 3,200.. Makes me sick of humans in general and proud to have one in my ditch.

The is on my wife's shoulder, ill see if I can dig up some better shots. Ray also did hers.

All 3 were done by Ray Alexander at Blue Flame in Raleigh NC

What's up ladies and gentlemen? I've always been into art and loved tattoos as long as I can remember. After my brother died a couple years ago I decided to start getting inked. Looking forward to meeting cool people and seeing some great ink and sharing experiences. Only have 3 right now. Ill post up some pics soon!
